Examples of neighbor in a Sentence

With close-lipped Patience for our only friend, Sad Patience, too near neighbor to Despair.
Remember their sacrifice, their valor and their grace. Remember their smiles, their loves, their laughter, their essential vibrant and transcendent humanity, for while we stand amid monuments of stone, we must never forget that each of these markers, for those known and unknown, here at Arlington and far beyond, represent a precious life.
